Abstract
Human alertness ebbs and flows along with other brain and body processes, a direct reflection of circadian rhythms. The hormone melatonin also contributes to the control of sleep. It is secreted in the darkness and inhibited by light. People need at least two hours of bright light exposure each day to have strong circadian rhythms. Sunlight also helps those who suffer from jet lag to get back on track.
